Adapter for IDE and SATA drives

This USB 2.0 adapter connects 2.5 and 3.5 inch IDE or SATA hard drives and optical drives to a computer. It provides a simple bridge for data transfer, backup and cloning tasks. The cable includes 44 pin and 40 pin IDE connectors plus a SATA connector. Transfer rates reach up to 480 megabits per second.

Suits users with legacy drives

It suits anyone needing to access older IDE or early SATA drives without installing them internally. Buyers who require power for their drive must source a separate AC adapter with 90 to 264 volt input. It does not suit users who need a self-powered solution or support for newer drive interfaces.

Three connector types included

The cable provides one 44 pin IDE connector for 2.5 inch drives, one 40 pin IDE connector for 3.5 inch drives and optical devices, and one SATA connector. This combination decides whether the adapter matches the specific drive you own.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the IDE 40-pin and 44-pin drives correctly?

Use the 40-pin connector for 3.5 inch drives and optical devices, the 44-pin for 2.5 inch drives, and the SATA connector for SATA devices. Attach external AC power before plugging the USB cable.

Which parts of the adapter may need replacing over time?

The USB cable, the three drive connectors, and the external AC power supply can wear out and may need replacement after repeated use.

What limits transfer speed during long copy jobs?

The USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 480Mb/s, so large transfers will not exceed that rate.
